It was time to finally pick all the cabbages from the large raised bed planted in early April. The Filderkraut Cabbages were huge and now I had to find ways to preserve them all. Previously, I had picked

The Kratky Method of Hydroponics has worked wonderfully once again. This Buttercrunch lettuce has given me a lot of delicious salads in the last two months. As you can see it is coming close to the end.

The Buttercrunch Lettuce I have been growing for 2 months using the Kratky Method of hydroponics has astounded me. I could not be any happier with the results. As you can see here the lettuce is nice and

Hi fellow Steemians and preppers, A much different kind of post from me with this one. I have mixed feelings doing it but with a toddler in the house, we felt it prudent to be more prepared now rather

So many projects in one picture. No overtime tonight, so I'm letting the little chickens start the night outside. If they're doing okay, they'll stay out. I showed them earlier how to get in and out of

Soul Sister and a GSL hanging out on the log that holds up their coop. I've got half a mind to let them sleep outside like big girls, but I want to be home to teach them to go to the coop, so not tonight.
